Tree's Tree's TREES!! - and This Old Girl
I've Been Seeing A Lot Of Posts About Trees Lately ..
So I felt compelled to throw a favorite picture of mine out there. This is sort of a delayed memorial post for this tree. I am very saddened to say that this old Oak tree is no longer. The property she sat on was leveled for new construction and the tree got eliminated.. What a tragedy. I was there when people sat and watched with anger and tears as her time came to a terrible end. I would not label myself as a tree huger, but this one really angered me. I could not understand why this decision was made, but I had no ability to stop it. I enjoyed taking pictures of it over the years and even ate 100's of lunches under her shade. I have the memories and the pictures to remind me.
I Also Am Now Motivated ..
With multiple inspirations over the last few weeks, to create some tree art. I guess you will just have to wait to see what I come up with. For now you can enjoy these past creations below. Some in oil and others in watercolor...
I am ready to CREATE!!

About Me ~ The Artist
My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.
Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.
For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
